Spreadsheet Server

Pros: Customer Support is excellent. We receive an answer to our requests quickly. After a couple of training sessions, we were able to use Spreadsheet Server with ease. I can generate reports quickly and have up to date information. Once you get to know Spreadsheet server and how it works, you can get things done.

Cons: We were accustomed to GL Wand, which is client-based. GL Wand is instantaneous, while Spreadsheet Server is not as quick due to it being cloud-based. However, we adapted.

Pros: It really helps the finance team run critical reports for quarter-end and year-end reporting to support the financial close.

Cons: Only negative I have experienced is the upgrading of reports that needs to happen as we have upgraded over the years, since we are longtime users our reports are old but with the support team we have been able to resolve issues that have come up.

Pros: This kind of tool can also reduce errors, save time, and improve the consistency of reports, especially when there’s a large volume of data to analyze.

Cons: Installing Spreadsheet Server for a new user or on a new laptop can be a challenging process. At times, the data doesn't pull in properly, or there are issues with entering the correct username. However, once the installation is completed successfully, everything works smoothly. If we encounter problems that we can't resolve on our own, we submit a ticket, and the representatives are always quick to provide assistance.

Pros: Team has been using software for over 20 years, like the ease of use, easy plugin with excel. Anyone who used excel will find Spreadsheet Server easy to use.
